Save Nigerian football from Maigari, Lulu begs GEJ

*He squandered
N2.8b in one year!

Former President of the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) Sani Abdullahi Lulu has released a bombshell
revealing so many issues and details amongst which is the fact that the present
board led by Alhaji Aminu Maigari squandered N2.8b in one year outside the
N3.012b from the Appropriation account by government.

NFF Scribe,Musa Amadu. Where is the N2.8b?

Lulu in a letter he wrote to the
nation’s President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, revealed that “it is very
imperative for me to note at this stage that despite all the allegations
against us, we left in our accounts a record total of N2.8b.”

According to him, “cash of N320m
and $700,000 were in the NFF accounts in UBA and Afribank. FIFA’s sponsorship
money of $5.5m was lodged in the LOC account in First Bank. $1m for FAP project
and $400,000 for FIFA Goal Project was set aside in FIFA account in Zurich
preparatory to its utilisation for the construction of NFF headquarters.”

Lulu, who was impeached alongside
three other personalities: Mr. Amanze Uchegbulam and Mr. Taiwo Ogunjobi
alongside the former Secretary General, Dr. Bolaji Ojo-Oba are standing trial
in a prosecution conducted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).

He added that a “total gross
revenue of $8m allocated to the NFF for the participation of Nigeria in the
World Cup” is also there to be accounted for. He wrote: “the amount was being
credited by FIFA to NFF at the time of our impeachment was contrived.”

NB: Watch out on this page for Dr. Ekeji’s role, ‘we are cleaner than
Maigari’s board’ and further in-depth revelations in the letter.
